We got even luckier where I live. I live in Center Point, and the latest round of tornadoes missed my apartment complex by 3 blocks. MUCH credit for James Spann, Jason Simpson and ALL of the weatherpeople at ABC 33/40

Finally! The 5:30 to 6:00 is posted!

Anyone notice the white and black truck or suv at 23:47? You can see it as a white speck at about 23:40, then as the mobile camera gets closer it just veers off the road (23:51).

Jason Simpson, the voice you hear off camera, is up in our market now. He's at WHNT 19 in Huntsville, Al. as Chief Meteorologist. He took over in January when Dan Satterfield left after 17 years at Channel 19.

@topdog25608 Jason is amazing, he's James Spann Jr. ;) You guys are lucky to have him, that was a great move.

James sounds like he's about to cry at 11:16 to 11:24 when he is asking the mayor and at the same time, feeling for parents of students at Alabama wanting to know if their children are ok.

@WrathOscuro Oh alright

This was so close to me in Helena. If it had made a little right turn.

@CarrieBHS Helena, Hoover, Regions Park, Hoover High School, Galleria, Summit. Thank the Lord for His Grace and Mercy and that 7 months later as I type this, I have seen Concord, buildings and houses are already going up in those hard-hit areas near Warrior River Road.

What happened at the end?
